You can't fake export data, because the data can be cross-checked with the countries that received the exports.
For that reason, Gujarat's data is more reliable than the data from the other Indian provinces.
export data might say a word or two, but you need to check what the major exports are:- if i am not wrong it is a major exporter of refined crude, & petro chemcial industries cuz gujrath is strategically located to have those industries,
check the indian map , it is the nearest port for ships carrying oil from gulf, ‘Petro-capital’ State of India, Gujarat offers 30% of Petrochemicals, 50% Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals business.
This has nothing to do with modi, gujrath has already been what it is before modi & it will be after modi.
big money to few big business houses does not make a state prosperous, check the infra & planning it actually sucks, if china has to worry about competition from india then it better worry about madras.
